EDITOR NOTES
In order to work under Mac OS X 10.6, Safari must be run in 32-bit mode.
DESCRIPTION
Web Snapper (formerly Red Snapper) is a light-weight Safari plugin that lets you capture web pages - exactly as they appear on screen. You can send them to a file, or to the clipboard, as images or vector-based PDFs (with links!) It captures the whole web page - eliminating the need to cut, paste and crop multiple screen-shots when trying to create an image or PDF. Best of all, it's one-click simple... right there on Safari's toolbar.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.3.7: - [FIX] Sites that used redirection would sometimes fail. Fixed.
- [FIX] The "Clear Completed Items" button did not work. Fixed.
- [FIX] When adding URLs to the main application, the autosave option was ignored. Fixed.
- [FIX] When downloading a new version of Web Snapper, the plugin was not upgraded. Fixed.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later.

PTG701 Why is this application needed? I always save sites and pages as multi-page pdf documents by going to "print/save as pdf" in the menu. (Version 2.3.6) | |

STEVED I have been using this software since it was Red Snapper, and I find it to be indispensable. I do a lot of online financial transactions and this allows me to keep exact records of purchases/transfers. The developer has been very good in responding to questions and finding old licenses. The only downsides are that 1) it only works in Safari and 2) Apple no longer supports input managers in Snow Leopard, so you will need to reset Safari to 32 bit. Am currently using 2.3.5 on Tiger, but planning to upgrade to S.L. soon. (Version 2.3.5) | |

KITMOS This works fine in Snow Leo. You may have to set Safari at 32 bit but I don't find that hinders anything. (Version 2.3.7) | |

ROGER KATZ BRAVO to this developer's tech support. Version 2.3.5 corrects a problem I had when I used version 2.3.4 with MacOS 10.5.8. I want to congratulate the developer on his prompt support. He returned my first eMail within 30 minutes, and after I provided him the specific information he requested, he sent me a release candidate within 12 hours. I have been using, very frequently, Web Snapper for the last eight months, and I still find it to be indispensible - each and every day. (Version 2.3.5) | |

KITMOS This program works great. I know there are many other ways of doing what it does but do it as easily. Note that in SnoLeo you need to run Safari under 32 bit for this to install and sometimes (in my case, yes) after installing the button and restarting Safari you need to go to View> Customize Toolbar and drag WebSnapper back to the tool bar. (Version 2.3.5) | |

DRDUL I've tried several similar apps, but use Web Snapper for one reason it captures what is currently visible in Safari. Other apps like Paparazzi require you to enter or drag a URL into them, and then they grab the web page. That works most of the time, but not with some web pages that display financial information, tracking results, and that sort of thing. The reason Web Snapper works when others don't is that it's a Safari plug-in. Of course, that's changed with Snow Leopard. To continue using the Web Snapper Safari plug-in, you have to run Safari in 32-bit mode. I'd prefer not to, so until Tasty Apps is able to develop a fix (they're working on it), I'll run Web Snapper as a stand-alone app, like the others. (Version 2.3.5) | |

BOB JNR Please judge for yourself this is just my experience. App works but has some issues. It does not function as advertised on all webpages and does not capture multi-page PDF with "Pagination" on when combining multiple snaps. Developer acknowledged problem, but did not answer additional requests for support or provide estimated implementation date for a fix. Make sure you fully try before buy. (Version 2.3.2) | |

BOB JNR Please note the issues described in my comment now appear to be resolved in the recent update. My thanks to the developer for taking the time to update. (Version 2.3.3) | |

CHRYSALIS I had difficulty transferring Web Snapper from an old mac laptop to my new one. I contacted Tasty apps customer service on a weekend and received an immediate response. What I needed, but didn't have, was the license for my original purchase of Red Snapper. (The latter had been upgraded to Web Snapper free of charge.) Customer Service emailed a copy of the license to me along with detailed instructions on how to enable Web Snapper on my new computer. Everything worked exactly as I was told it would, and now I happily have Web Snapper back in my life again! If only it could always be this easy.... (Version 2.3.2) | |

ROGER KATZ I thankfully bought it immediately after seeing how wonderful it is - which only took me 30 minutes of working with its trial version. I have been longing for this type of application - to take full web-page shots of with sizes larger than the screen. Its button, integrated with Safari, is a great timesaver. Doing this without WebSnapper requires a tedious cutting and pasting. Web Snapper 2.3.2 works, wonderfully, for my MacBook Pro with MacOS 10.5.6. I've only used it a half hour, and I am already wondering how I could have ever worked, efficiently, without it. (Version 2.3.2) | |

UNCOY Here's my experience. Web Snapper wouldn't work on my computer. I asked for help. They couldn't fix it. I suggested an application swap for an alternative product. Declined. Refund promised and never delivered. When I spoke up, the developer began to send me obscenity laced emails. It took me over a year and a half to get that refund (last week). Draw your own conclusions. In the meantime, NetFixer is free and works flawlessly. PS. For some reason the developer keeps pulling string to get my feedback erased here. As a regular customer at MuPromo and MacUpdate and a regular reviewer, I am somewhat surprised that a personal friendship inside MacUpdate is enough to get my real life experience with TastyApps deleted.

COSINE Web Snapper works for me... flawlessly. Now... i'm curious... isn't there a free trial ? Why would you purchase something that didn't work on your mac ? I actually bought another program from them "Videobox" and that initially had an issue... so i emailed customer service... and got a super nice response back (in less the 3 hours no less!)... turns out... i had another plugin installed that was preventing Videobox from working properly... once that was removed... it worked like a charm. As far as that netfix program you mentioned... i tried it... it doesn't do half of what Web Snapper does. (Version 2.3.2) | |

UNCOY I'm glad you had a better experience. (Version 2.3.2) | |

MISHA Works like a dream... even on a massive table of text that generated 4.5MB PDF, WebSnapper had no problem. I still use SnapzPro for quick captures of small elements on a site, but WebSnapper can't be beat when you need a more complete or comprehensive solution. (Version 2.3.2) | |
